Angelina Jolie wore one of her late mother’s necklaces in Couture.

The Oscar-winning actress plays a woman making a Paris Fashion Week runway film while getting divorced and learning she has breast cancer in Alice Winocour’s new movie and she felt “vulnerable” during the shoot because of her family history, which saw her mom Marcheline Bertrand die of ovarian and breast cancer in 2007 and her aunt and grandmother also pass away from the disease.

She told Variety she had worn her mother’s necklace on the shoot for comfort and added: “I felt very vulnerable. “I feel like it’s such a personal film.

It felt so private that in my mind, it’s probably the one film that doesn’t feel like a film.” The 50-year-old actress - who underwent a preventive double mastectomy because she carried the BRCA1 gene in 2013 - knew making the movie would “bring up many personal things” but she found it a “healing ” experience.

She said: “I have always found the heaviest films tend to have the most loving sets. There’s something quite comforting about having real conversations and having real feelings with a shared community.

“It was quite healing in many ways because you look at the other faces of the people on the set, because one in three people have cancer, and most everybody’s been in a hospital room with somebody they’ve loved.

Everybody on set has lost someone they’ve loved. “You recognise that life is fragile and time goes quickly, and people pass away that we can’t imagine the world could exist without... It’s hard not to feel very close to a crew and other actors in this kind of a piece.”
